John Kascht in an artist’s talk at WCAA  

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — The gallery at the Wayne County Arts Alliance (WCAA) will host an artist’s talk in conjunction with the exhibition “Turning Pages—Art by John Kascht” from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 at the gallery.

All are invited to see the show and talk with Kascht from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Then the artist’s talk follows at 5 p.m. Questions are welcome.

The exhibition draws from four decades of John’s illustrations for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Rolling Stone, GQ and other publications.

A master caricaturist, Kascht studies people with the meticulousness of a forensic examiner, identifying the characteristics that make each person uniquely recognizable. He stretches and amplifies those features in search of a likeness that captures some glimmer of the life at the center. 

Also featured in the exhibition is the first-ever showing of models created for “The Mysteries,” the bestselling book written by Bill Watterson (of comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes” fame) and illustrated by Kascht and Watterson.

The exhibit closes on Saturday, June 15.

Gallery hours are Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m

The gallery is located at 959 Main St.
